| Summary | 0015880: Command line help is broken | ||||||||
| Description | Command line help is broken for ParaView, especially on Windows. There really are three issues. - one Windows specific, the other two are general. * On Windows, a user should be able to open a Command Prompt, cd to the ParaView executable, and run paraview --help. This should show in the command prompt window OR in a window that opens up and stays open. Currently, help is written to a ParaView window, and immediately ParaView will close, also closing this help window. * The ParaView command line arguments are confusing. If an input does not have a command associated with it (such as -dr or --help), we assume it is a file. Thus, if you try to get help, and don't know the command, ParaView just assumes it is a file to open. It says no such file. For instance, 'paraview -h' will fail loading the -h file. Please change this to either always require a file command (maybe -f), or if the file is read in from the command line, and doesn't exist (or starts with a -), print out the command line help. * We are inconsistent with ParaView command line arguments. Help is the most obvious example. Please add a -h command for help. | ||||||||
